Cafe West
“You can find me at West almost every Monday or Tuesday, because then all bottled specialty beer is only €4. If you don't, you're a thief of your wallet anyway. As someone with eternal choice stress, I am also a real fan of the half dishes. The more food the better”

Jansbar
“There are many places to go out in Utrecht, but Jansbar is and remains my favorite. I like to come here with friends to dance.”

  • By Rina

Hofman
“Everything is just fine and the vibe is nice. Lunch, food, drinks, snacks, everything is nice. Ideal place to sit down between lectures”

Live Music

Cafe Orloff
“I used to have dance lessons at the Dom as a girl, then I went to Orloff for a sandwich with my father. That's really kind of core memory for me. So now I still come here often! The sandwiches with croquettes, humus and tuna salad are recommended. And of course the toasties”

Pool cafe Hart van Utrecht
“If you want some good nachos and pitchers of beers to share with your friends over a game of pool, this is the place to go. Plus, it’s a great way to prove to your friends how good you are at pool, especially if they did not believe you at first”

Chupitos
“When I go out, I can always be found in Chupitos with my friends first, many shots later we often decide to stay there all night and have a nice dance.”

Feestcafé De Vrienden
“Maybe this is strange coming from a Med student, but life is more than studying. Sometimes your prefrontal cortex also deserves a night off. De Vrienden is perfect for that!”
